Ad Astra

Astra was born without any talent in cultivation and, being orphaned from a young age, didn't have many other prospects for thriving on the mining colony she called home. After naively buying a mysterious map from a sketchy old man, and being chased by a deranged cultivator for said map, she stumbles upon an opportunity that will change her life, and her fate. Now given the opportunity to cultivate, Astra must find a way to thrive in this brand new world that has opened up to her. Join Astra as she begins her cultivation journey, gathers allies and friends, fights against demonic beasts and cultivators alike, and steadily makes her way, to the stars. *** Just like Astra's journey has a start, this story was my start to writing. My writing has vastly improved over the years, and just as I hope you wont look down on Astra when she's weak at the beginning of her journey; I hope you'll give me the same consideration. After all, the Dao of Writing is its own path, and this story is a record of my journey on that path. As such, Its unlikely ill go back and change the early parts of the story for content of writing quality, even if/when I edit this story for a paper release if I choose to do so.
